We tried them all so you wouldn’t have to
New York City has just as many places to get a facial as coffee shops. It can be overwhelming, even for a beauty editor. My mission was to try *almost* all of them this summer, and report back which ones I loved so much that I would 100% do again. If one of your hobbies include getting facials, keep on reading because you are going to want to make sure to try all of these treatments. Your skin will thank you later, you are welcome.
SB Skin, Microcurrent Facial
“You’ll see improved skin quality, more even tone, smoother texture and healthier glow. The face will be lifted and contoured, with lines and puffiness are diminished,” SB Skin founder Shamara Bondaroff explains. Microcurrent sends electrical currents through your muscles, to lift the face and remind the muscles where they are supposed to be.”
A great alternative to botox, or a way to prolong the effects after having your ‘botox NYC’ treatment, this facial is perfect for anyone who needs some lifting and sculpting around the face. Major bonus points are due because of the space. Everyone feels so comfortable and at home because it’s set up like a beautiful home. Our luxurious yet relaxed atmosphere really elevates the experience.
